Plex launches free streaming service

Plex has launched a free streaming service for all its account holders.

The company announced in September that it would partner with Warner Bros. to offer movies and shows before the end of 2019.

Viewers will now have access to thousands of movies, TV shows, extreme sports films, music documentaries, and Bollywood musicals free of charge.

Then login, then it shows up on your dashboard.

Wow... I can't wait to try this out.

A free ad-supported global video streaming service? This is a death knell for every country's domestic video entertainment industry. At least the distribution side of it.

 

[medicnick83]

Nothing on there unless I'm missing it...

Not even Handmaid's Tale Season 3.

 

[Dan C]

Works fine. Some ads but nothing serious

Anybody with a VPN able to confirm if the content varies by region?

 

[Jan]

Seems to be working for me.

Went to: https://www.plex.tv/watch-free/

Clicked on "Watch Now". Doesn't have blockbusters or anything, but it's a start.

 

[JustAsk]

Now wait and see how lovers of the service are suddenly not bothered anymore with them fcking ads...

 

[Mr Scratch]

Plex Pass users don't get ads...?

Tubi TV has better stuff

Yeah, got the e-mail from Plex and logged in.

If you are into 1940's movies and a few others that never made it to DVD, then this is the place for you.

Nothing of interest to me.

The High Seas still rule the world of entertainment.

 

[Soul Assassin]

I guess it depends on your region but I only have a bunch of stuff they wouldn't even show on e.tv.

Lol the world has moved on to streaming ages ago already...

Yep, with things like Plex just released I see it is going 'well'. But, no thanks, not for me though.

Some of these movies and series look so old but hey it is free so I will sign up and watch

Edit: Some of these movies feel like they even skipped "straight to DVD" straight to the dumpster.
